Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 676 Path
The pit was very deep, and judging from the pit wall, it was dug by this fighting creature. Chen Chuan speculated that this passage might have been dug as a retreat at a critical moment.

It is no wonder that these people were not in a hurry to retreat after they noticed something. It turned out that there was such a passage, but it is also possible that this passage has not been completely opened yet.

He looked at the marks on the wall of the pit. There were traces of rubbing back and forth on the edge. It was definitely impossible that it was dug out today.

It is very likely that these people started digging when they arrived here and continued every day, so where would this road lead to?
He didn't plan to go down by himself, and used the boundary to take care of Andun. After a while, several fighting creatures flew over from a distance, then entered the house and crawled into the cave.

These combat creatures are all in communication with the field information and have certain field monitoring capabilities. He can use these creatures to see some of the situations below.

On the periphery, his team members had already blocked several intersections according to the pre-arranged arrangements, produced certificates from the handling bureau, and began to identify and evacuate nearby residents and pedestrians.

At this moment, the city security in the rear is catching up, and soon this entire area will be blocked off.

However, just as they started to act, gunshots were heard in the residential area, causing passers-by to panic and scatter in all directions.

The team members were not novices. When they heard the sound coming from all directions, they knew that someone was deliberately creating chaos.

At this time, some people inevitably rushed out. One person seemed to come to Wei Dong in a panic. When he approached, he suddenly took out a dagger from underneath and stabbed it into his stomach.

However, before he could complete half of the action, a fist hit him hard in the face, and he immediately fell sideways and fainted on the ground.

Luo Kaiyuan on the side retracted his fist and nodded to Wei Dong.

According to today's mission, if someone poses no threat, they should be captured alive. He was afraid that Wei Dong might act without restraint and kill someone, so he just did it for him.

At the other intersection, Wei Changan stood there with his hands in his pockets, looking around. Cai Si was checking and asking people to evacuate.

These people evacuated from them one by one in fear. One of them was walking by Wei Changan with his head down, but he was grabbed by the shoulder. The man stopped involuntarily, his eyes flickering, "What, what are you doing?"

Wei Changan stretched his hand backwards, causing the man to take several steps back and sit on the ground. He said, "I just asked irrelevant people to leave. As for you, you can't leave for the time being."

He had carried out so many commissions and was very experienced in identifying people. He could see clearly that although this person lowered his head, his attitude was full of hostility. No matter if he was a member of the gang here or someone who really wanted to be arrested, he would not be allowed to leave.

The man's face changed and he quickly got up and ran to the back. However, his running proved that there was a problem. Before he took a few steps, he heard a gunshot from behind and fell to the ground, covering his calf and wailing.

Cai Si put away his gun, went up to arrest the man and put handcuffs on him. But at this moment, a man in a window in the distance pointed a gun at him.

However, before this man could fire his gun, Ding Liao, who was lying on a roof, shot him in the head with a bang. At the same time, he turned the gun and aimed at another man with a gun. Before he could react, he fired another shot, and the gunman fell from the height instantly.

Cai Si walked up to Wei Changan and said, "Junior brother, you should be able to handle it if you go in there by yourself, right?"

Wei Changan was alert but also relaxed. He said, "Don't worry. Junior Chen always does things when he is sure of what he is doing. Besides, he is the investigation supervisor of the Bureau." He smiled and said, "We don't need to worry about anyone else, we just need to make sure we don't make any mistakes."

Cai Si nodded in agreement.

Inside the house, Chen Chuan used the boundary to look at the situation inside the pit from the perspective of a fighting creature that had entered it. The pit was very deep, and the fighting creature had been there for more than ten minutes but still had not seen the end.

But at this moment, one of them suddenly disappeared, and after a while, the remaining ones also disappeared one after another.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Judging from the order in which it disappeared, this thing was coming towards him, and at a very fast speed.

He stood at the edge of the pit, staring down, but he didn't see any movement for a long time. After a while, there was a loud bang, and the ground several meters behind him was suddenly broken.

An insect with a smooth arthropod body suddenly rushed out. It was shaped like a flat cone, with a ferocious and strong jaw at its mouth and dense sickle-like limbs on its abdomen. It was trying to embrace him.

With a flash of the knife, the insect was instantly cut in half and fell to both sides. A large amount of biological tissue fluid with a strange smell flowed out of its shell.

Chen Chuan turned around. He had just heard clearly that there were not just one insect, but many of them. He walked outside with a knife in his hand. Through Chao Ming's observation in the sky, he found that there were dozens of places around where such things were coming out, and there were also such things in a farther range.

From this perspective, the approach of evacuating the crowd just now was correct, but even so, there were still many people who refused to leave, but he could not help those who refused to listen.

He immediately contacted Jie Ping, notified Yuan Qiyuan and others, and sent them the images he saw: "Be careful with these things, deal with everything you can see."

There were definitely more of these things than what we saw before us. According to Andun's analysis, they were most likely bred by that fighting creature. He walked to the street just now and released his spiritual power outward. In an instant, within a radius of several hundred meters from him, whether on the ground or underground, all the insects stopped their original movements and lay there like dead.

He only knew that there might be some fish that slipped through the net a little further away, but his team should be able to deal with them. These modified creatures were just the right size for them to handle.

At this moment, above a certain intersection, Yuan Qiyuan was standing on the roof watching. He saw the road surface was broken and a bug rushed out. Before the bug could fully reveal its body, he raised the stick in his hand, jumped down from the air, and smashed the bug's body with the stick.

With a snap, the entire upper body of the insect exploded, and the broken shell and bursting liquid splashed everywhere, making a mess.

On the other side, Qin Qingque and Su Wei were also dealing with the insects they saw respectively, but they were not like Yuan Qiyuan who made a mess after dealing with them. They used force to destroy their internal structure.

On the one hand, this way the scene would not be too ugly, and on the other hand, they did not know whether these liquids were harmful to ordinary people and the surrounding environment, so they subconsciously controlled them.

With the help of the team members, no more bugs appeared on the periphery soon. After checking and confirming that there were no casualties among their team members, they reported to Chen Chuan.

After receiving the report, Chen Chuan notified the city security forces to come and clean up the situation, and asked the team members to take the three seriously injured people back to prepare for further interrogation at the police station.

A few hours later, in the basement of Lianwei’s new branch.

Yang Ling had one hand on the porcelain box, communicating with the embryo of the active consciousness inside. She could hear rustling sounds from inside.

Those sounds were communicating with her mind, as if conveying some kind of information to each other.

At this time, there are blood vessels on the holes on the outer wall of the porcelain box, with vermilion liquid flowing inside, continuously transporting nutrients into it.

After a while, her face turned pale and she let go of her hands. She waited for her slightly rapid breathing to calm down before walking towards the elevator leading to the ground.

When she reached the ground and the elevator opened, she saw the female assistant waiting outside and asked, "What's going on?"

The female assistant bowed slightly and said, "Miss, the headquarters just sent a telegram that the team we arranged in the marginal area was attacked by the processing bureau."

Yang Ling didn't show any signs of change, and only asked, "How much was the loss?"

"All three team members were arrested."

"What about Captain Fan?"

"Captain Fan was very cautious. He did not stay with his team members, so he was not affected during the raid."

Yang Ling said, "Well, then the headquarters should send someone to supplement him."

When she came out, the headquarters told her that the main person in charge of the operation this time was Captain Fan, and the other personnel could be replaced. As long as this person was there, the operation would not be considered a failure.

As for the possible losses and setbacks encountered during the operation, the company had already made preparations.

The female assistant said, "But he is also very likely to be exposed. Although the processing bureau has not found him, they can confirm the existence of Captain Fan through interrogation of the captured personnel. They will definitely increase the intensity of the search. The headquarters means that we should try to attract the attention of the processing bureau during this period of time."

Yang Ling recalled several strategies that the active consciousness had given him before. One of them was to try to get some of the Ferris Wheel Company's maritime transportation business, which required them to go overseas for negotiations. If they went to the sea, they should be able to divert some of the attention of the Processing Bureau.

The female assistant added: "Also, the headquarters would like to ask you if you have found a suitable location?"

Yang Ling's intertwined fingers tightened, and she said, "Just a little bit more."

Her spirit can sense the weak spots leading to the fusion area, so even if the active consciousness is just an embryo, a secret path can be found through her spirit's assistance.

Although Lianwei Zhongyu had obtained the permission of the Municipal Council to enter the fusion area, they were also going for the lost objects this time, so they needed to open up another path.

The female assistant looked at her for a moment, as if to confirm whether what she said was true, and finally bowed and said: "The headquarters is urging us to do this matter, so please hurry up, Miss."
